Asdrubal Cabrera and Jerry Blevins will be back with the Mets next season, with the team picking up the options of both veteran players Friday.

The moves were expected. Cabrera showed an ability to play three infield positions last season when he split time at second base, third base and shortstop.

He’ll get $8.5 million, and would have been owed a $2 million buyout if the option wasn’t picked up.

“Asdrubal can help us all around the infield,” general manager Sandy Alderson said in a statement. “Asdrubal is a great tutor to our younger players and is a leader in the clubhouse.”

While the move had been anticipated, Cabrera said in June he wanted to be traded when he lost his starting job at shortstop to Jose Reyes. He later backtracked and accepted his new role when top prospect Amed Rosario arrived from Triple-A Las Vegas.

“This is where I wanted to be,” Cabrera said in a statement. “I’m open to playing anywhere [in the infield].”

Cabrera could end up starting at second or third next season, depending on what the team does with Wilmer Flores and whether they explore a free agent option like Todd Frazier. The switch-hitting Cabrera has been solid at the plate in each of his two seasons with the Mets.

David Wright’s health also remains an issue and while Reyes is a free agent, he could also return.

Blevins is due $7 million and would receive a $1 million buyout if the Mets let him go.

The left-hander appeared in a career-high 75 games last season and the heavy workload appeared to take a toll on him, since Blevins was less effective in the second half.

Alderson pointed to Blevins, Jeurys Familia and AJ Ramos as the foundation of what the GM said would be a “much-improved” bullpen.
